In his Telegram channel, he wrote that the Ukrainian authorities decided that "it’s worthless for the ombudsmen to exchange prisoners."

“Now from Kiev in the contact group this will be the major general of the SBU. Apparently, human pain is closer to him, and as representatives of this service are concerned about protecting human rights, this cannot be conveyed, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.

Earlier, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky appointed Gennady Kuznetsov as the representative of Kiev in the humanitarian subgroup.

The previous representative of Kiev in the subgroup Valeria Lutkovskaya resigned at the end of January.
